    We had a fabulous dinner at Marcel DW on Friday night. We shared the mushroom appetizer, which is always excellent. I then had the peppered salmon, which was perfectly cooked and delicious. And my husband had the beef bourguignon and raved about it. We ended the evening with the banana bread pudding. It was delicious and the flambe made for a fun presentation, but I did taste more of the alcohol than I would have liked. This restaurant is truly a gem. Excellent food in a quiet, elegant environment and the prices are very reasonable.

    Our server Chris was great. The food was excellent. The mushroom appetizer really wonderful. The chef came to greet us and checked on our food. My husband had the steak frites. Steak was done perfectly and fries were very good. I had the chicken paillard which was delicious. Would highly recommend this place. Will definitely return!
